I uninstalled the Protips.apk without doing a backup first and now need to restore it so the OTA update completes. I have the file from another Photon but how do I go about getting it installed? I moved it to /system/app/ with Root Explorer but it won't install.
Do I need to push it with adb? If it somehow needs to be re-signed I'm not sure how to sign w/system signatures.
What steps can I use to complete this?
Thanks.
download the cm5 from yays thread in the dev section and then using 7zip (providing you are using windows) take everything out except protips app and flash it through recovery
If it will flash via recovery and work then would there be a reason why I can't push it via adb? The file that was sent to me should still have the original signature attached correct?
I was trying to avoid unlocking the bootloader and having to install custom recovery.

I THINK that you can flash the via bootstrap recovery. If not try pushing with adb and before you reboot typing
Code:
sync
reboot

I pushed it but not sure about the sync command. Do I need to use "adb sync /system/app/"? It is asking me for a directory but don't know what I am supposed to be syncing.
**EDIT...NM. I need to know the exact syntax for the adb sync command I need to use. Nothing is working. Also, I do not have permission to run the remount command. Does this mean the system may still be read only?
Thanks.

Okay try this.
1st put the protips.apk on your sd card then
Code:
adb shell
su
mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mmcblk0p12 /system
cp /sdcard/protips.apk /system/app
sync
reboot
this should work
You know do don't actually install the apk. Just drop it in the system/app folder in reboot.
Perhaps I misunderstood your problem.

Yes. However it seems the Protips.apk I have might not be signed properly because it never installs upon reboot. So I was trying to find a way to make this work.

Tried it. All commands went through without issue. After reboot I tried doing the update but when it scans for existing files it still stops at 30%. It is still either not finding Protips.apk or there is something wrong with the file I have. A friend of mine emailed to me in an attachment. Don't know of any other way to get it without knowing how to properly extract an sbf file. Maybe if someone has a TB backup of it and could send to me? Then I could try restoring it. Not sure if something like that would be worth a try.

protips is the only thing that you don't have?
I am not sure. this thread has the ota as an sbf. I saw in another thread you were worried about having to reactivate again. The phone will program over the air you won't have an issue at all. I wish I could help you get protips installed correctly but I am still finding my way around moto. I guess that the mount command we used could be wrong. Not sure :/

Yes. I deleted Protips.apk after rooting and didn't make a backup. The update errors every time because of that file not being installed it seems. Do you think that leaked OTA would restore the missing apk?

This leak is the same as the OTA. The only difference between installing this and downloading the OTA is having to reset everything up.

I'm gonna go ahead and try to figure out how to do the leaked one. I pulled the Protips.apk from Juggs file and still doesn't work. Weird that I can't go to it in Root Explorer and just install it.
Anyways, phone has been factory reset anyways so I'm not worried about having to set it all back up.
Thanks for your help.

Yes. Still wouldn't work. Only thing I didn't try is modifying the update.zip and flashing just to restore the missing apk.
Did you also return the Protips.odex file?

any problem with our low resolution?
It's way too big taking up almost the whole screen, so layout needs to be adjusted.
It's certainly too big at times, but I'm quite happy with it as it's now.
Thanks for the useful information.
When I try to flash It, it say: Installation aborted
What I wrong??
The easiest way is to install it manually with adb.
what about latest gingerbread maps with 3d view ?
can we have it on this device ?
i know we don't care at all about multi-touch, so what about a google earth way to turn the maps in 3d space ? can tattoo handle it ?
Not really sure. They said they're going to update maps soon. We'll have to wait and see.

Just uncompress the zip file in your computer. It'll extract quite a few things, but we only want the two files in the "system" folder.
First, remount the system partition on your phone as read-write (adb remount), then adb push the apk to /system/app to your device, then the lib to /system/lib on your device.
Not sure about the exact names of the files, but it should be something like:
adb push system/app/LatinIME.apk /system/app
adb push system/lib/libwhatever.so /system/lib
That should do it. You might want to make a backup of the old files, in case things go wrong.
hi everyone. i got my htc rezound on friday and have been fighting with it most of the weekend. i have the bootloader unlocked and (i assume) root achieved via amon ra. i cant get rid of the bloatware via multiple bloat removal tools, and its starting to make me hate life. can someone just tell me how i get to /system/apps so i can do it myself?
thanks.
Get a root explorer and it will allow you to remove the apks.

thanks, that was excruciatingly simple. i grabbed an app and apparently perm root didnt take. going to need to try again after work.
im new to all this stuff with phones, i should have learned with my incredible 1 but it was satisfactory out of the box. seems like everything HTC with the newest version is full of bloat and runs like garbage. the last OTA to incredible nearly bricked the phone, i had to manually reprogram it to get back on the network; verizon tech support didnt do jack.
ill keep reading over these forums and learning as much as i can. any suggestions for this phone are greatly appreciated. currently im using the stock sense UI and stock kernel. i like the UI as it is, dont plan on modding it, just need to get rid of bloat.

Are you sure you're rooted and unlocked? You did the HTC unlock dance, right?
The reason I ask is that you say you achieved root via Amon Ra.....and Amon Ra doesn't get you root; it's a recovery vehicle/manager. Anyway, have you seen this thread?

i cant be sure im rooted, but i am unlocked. i watched the bootloader unlock myself, and it says 'unlocked' at the top of the hboot screen.
i have no idea how to see if i have root, though, and i know i dont right now.
as for that thread, yes, i have all that on my PC at home and tried it earlier today. unfortunately, i had previously used a different method, so i skipped straight up to the part after the unlock. the other method i used had me get into amon ra and use the su installer, which is why i mentioned that.
any other suggestions? im all ears heh.

No Amon Ra has the functionality to install su. It's been one of the only ways to obtain root after the OTA.

if you haven't done this from beginning to end (incl step 7), you may not be perm-rooted. Good luck!

actually... i think that is the first method i used LOL. either way, im going to factory reset my phone and go with hasoon2000's tool.
let me preface this by again stating i have the bootloader unlocked and can prove it with a picture if i have to.
ok, i factory reset my phone and used amon ra to install superuser. this did not work.
superuser says 'no apps in list.' ES file explorer tells me i cant delete Blockbuster.apk. terminal emulator says it is read only. after rebooting my phone, terminal emulator's keyboard is stuck in all caps mode (weird) and i cant even cd.
this is what i get when i use hasoon's method (cant post about this there cuz i dont have 10 posts ):

flashed the zip from amon ra and restarted so hasoon's permroot could run. still says read only file system.
im beginning to think no one has actually rooted the rezound, and this is an elaborate, worldwide prank on me lol.
if your in root explorer you need to press on the read only to change it to read write. Probably the same with any file manager. Default is read only.

Have you rebooted after your changes?
I would have used titanium backup first to freeze the apps that I am thinking about removing. And then moving them to a safe place rather than deleting them so that if I have to, I can put them back if there is a bad result.

Simple. If you remove the wrong thing, you may have problems trying to put it back. Without having to reload the ROM again and start over.
Remove the wrong things... and you have a non-working phone.
By freezing them, you can see the affects before you perm remove them. If you move them instead of deleting them, you can put them back. If you delete them, sometimes even TB can't restore them.
It comes down to how much time you want to put into this...

I may have edited something wrong in build.prop and now my phone won't load after the SONY logo. I would push a stock build.prop if I had CWM but apparently I lost that after following steps to root JB with locked bootloader. All I have now is fastboot and flash mode.
Is there any way to push a file and set permissions using one of these modes? I can reflash ICS and do everything all over again but if I could just push a stock build.prop I think I can avoid the long way.
PS. Can I also get help putting CWM on this phone? I wanna keep bootlock 'coz I'm a purist like that. Lol! :silly:
do any of these modes support mounting \system and \data ??

No, but fastboot can flash an update.zip according to a wiki. I don't think that's the same as a regular flashable zip is it?
Bump 'coz it's really getting tiring to reflash from zero when just one file needs editing.

I ended up with reflashing only SYSTEM partition via Flashtool (don't forget to uncheck "Wipe DATA"). You are going to loose any modification of "/system" (e.g. root) but at least you won't loose your settings, apps and data.

3. Power off and turn on your Ascend Mate by holding volume down + volume up + power button (or do a local update from system update)

pls check the system update thread in general section, you have to restore all the to-be-upgrade files to stock. i have posted a system files zip there. (sorry, type in phone, hard to paste link)

The build.prop error might be because you may have changed it away from stock (for xposed to work for example). It has to be changed for the update to work. You can change it back afterwards.

ime_extend_row_keyboard=true
ime_vibration_pattern=0:20

Remove those lines and try the update again. It probably does checks to ensure it is unedited before patching. You can add that back after updating.

Tried removing the lines and no go. Did a back up then a factory reset, then tried update, still same error.... Going to try to go over the build.prop line by line now.

Here's the stock build.prop file in a zip (attached). Unzip then copy build.prop to your sd card. Use ES File Explorer in root explorer mode. It goes in /system
For reference, the owner is root and the permissions are rw- r-- r-- (644).

Yes and you helped resolve it
AKA "For the love of all that's good and holy, how do I stop this?"
I've deleted the FOTA folder, and when I get the notification (about 30 times a day), I long press for App Info, but the Show Notifications checkbox is checked and greyed out so I can't uncheck it.
I tried downloading Disable Service from the Play Store, but it reports that SystemUpdateService is disabled, yet I'm still getting this notification.
Clearly, this is quite frustrating. Thanks for any help.
How did you disable it? I have seen people say TI didn't stop it, and the hidden menu didn't do it. Those peeps had to do both.
Freezing system update in titanium worked for me or flash another rom similar to stock

This is how i stopped it right here...
Just delete system update.
Did you try disabling ota in the hidden Verizon menu? Dial ##3328873 + send + 000000, uncheck ota, then delete fota files in cache again and rename LGDMSClient.apk and the same for the .odex file to .bak. Renaming seems what's working for most people instead of freezing.
Reboot
That should take care of it for you.

The file rename worked for me. I took all the steps above and even downloaded the exposed module AppOps to no avail

Dang! I was looking for that info last week after I received my G3. I finally just took the OTA from 10B to 11C. Yeah, I can flash back but geez that would have been easier.
Thanks! (I did hit the Thanks Button)
What is that app called that I need to rename?edit: found it
Total noob here but know enough to be dangerous. I'm rooted and unlocked and was able to turn off OTAs this way. Question I have is whether there are simple and straightforward instructions on downloading and installing the lastest KDZ updates available. I did download 11C (and decompressed with LG Firmware Extract for Win) but I'm lost as to the proper steps to take from here to make sure I don't brick my precious Any resources would be much appreciated!

Thank you. I had already scrutinized this thread quite a bit, it actually directed me here and got me to the where I'm at now. However, where do I get the boot.img,modem.img,system.img files - they were not included in the KDZ. All I see in there are a bunch of bin files...

The IMG files are not in the update zip. They are somewhere in that ota incoming thread. I can post the links later if you can't find them. I'm hosting the system. IMG and have the modem.img, not sure if I have the boot, probably.

here are the files. i actually dont have the boot. probably because i never flashed it, didnt see the point. if you are going to move on to a custom rom, there is no point in flashing the system either.

Thanks! So I'm on 10B now, going to 11C. I get that I need to place the Flash2 zips on the phone, which I've done. I also get that I will place modem-11c.img and system.img in the same folder, then in TWRP, flash the zips. Is that it? I presume that I no longer really need teh KDZ I downloaded since that's basically in these files you're providing. Thanks again!

sounds close. also you need to remove the -11c from the modem file name.
